The U.S. government under President Trump has sought to weaken regulations intended to keep the U.S. food supply safe, most recently seeking to abolish what it calls “outdated processing requirements” for meat and poultry products. USDA under Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has proposed speeding up the chicken slaughtering lines from 140 birds per minute to 175 and the turkey slaughtering lines from 55 birds per minute to 60.

Regulations are written in blood, usually due to deaths. They are the only things attempting to keep us safe from these corporations and without them I expect things to get much worse and the exploitation to increase with each lessened regulation. Both for workers and consumers.

It's not just decreased regulation. It's decreased staffing for enforcement. It's the CDC no longer tracking when foodborne illness breaks out. It's a lot of things. The Jungle is public domain. Maybe it's time for one of those Pride & Prejudice and Zombies rewrites. The Jungle 2, Regulatory Capture.

Our only hope is that these raw meat enjoyers will one day fail to disgest or digest and get sick from a piece of meat that they failed to anticipate eating in their crusade against food and drug safety.

Or the fake meat from McDonalds and an overdose on cocaine will do them in, I dunno.

I think the high costs of meat will stop them. Hard to eat raw meat when you can't afford it.

Cast The Rock and make him wear a brown shirt.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He already did a brown shirt in Jumanji. That would cause brand confusion.

Regulations in the US are. EU Regulations work differently, you have to prove something is safe before you can bring it onto the market.
